Is the Hybird Battery in my 2024 already going bad?

    I have a 2024 Toyota Prius with 26,000 miles. I just bought it and was a little taken back by dr. prius readings on the hybird battery. Does the battery look okay considering its only got 26,000 miles on it? or does it look like this might be the beginning of a issue(s) later down the road?

    any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated!

    Do you charge your high voltage battery up to 100% sometimes to balance the cell tension?
    This is a 72 cell battery and the graph shows only 60.

    Dr. Prius is not very suitable for new hybrids. It was developed for gen2, gen3, etc. for 14 pairs of NiMh modules. Modern hybrids are switching to lithium, where a BMS with control of each cell is needed. This is a safety feature, invested in the engineering of the Toyota high-voltage battery by long developments.
    Dr. Prius cannot keep up with all the innovations.
    The graphic image is uninformative, does not have digital values. It is impossible to squeeze the unsqueezable on a phone display. Instead of 72 cells, 60 meaningless stripes. Therefore, it is hardly possible to evaluate anything.
    Your battery is controlled by the ECU of the high-voltage system more reliably than a third-party application.

    You've got a 10-year 150K-mile warranty on the EV component side of that car. Don't know what your worrying about????

    A Prius HEV has 60 cells and a PHEV has 72 cells.
    In the case of a HEV, it would be recommended to have your hybrid battery checked in the dealership under warranty.

    Your battery looks perfect. What you want to look for with a suspect of cells going bad is the 'volt diff' value, which shows the difference between the cell at max. V and the cell at min. V and gets high if a cell is bad. The vertical axis of the chart is scaled on that value so it's worthless unless that value is high. You have 0 to 0.01 which is as good as it gets.
